Ending California's Special Emission Standards and State Adoption Rights
This Act eliminates California's special authority to set its own, stricter emission standards for new vehicles and engines. It also revokes the right of other states to adopt these Californian standards, leading to a unified federal regulatory framework for emissions. For citizens and manufacturers, this means less regulatory variation across states, potentially impacting the cost and availability of certain vehicle models.
Key points
Repeals California's right to receive special waivers from federal emission standards for new motor vehicles.
Eliminates the authorization for other states to adopt California's emission standards instead of federal ones.
All existing waivers granted to California are voided, and pending applications are denied immediately.
Unifies emission regulations for vehicles and engines nationwide, potentially simplifying manufacturing and distribution.
